At the close of the last century, while in a northern state, I laid aside all material remedies and asked for an understanding of Christian Science, hoping it might meet my case, which seemed very urgent. Dyspepsia, with two chronic and painful internal troubles, were cured at once, defective eye-sight yielded soon, and in time nervous troubles of various types, neuralgia, malaria, and other physical discords vanished, while with the slower demonstrations, which were attended by many a struggle, came an understanding which I have been able to apply to all the so-called material affairs of life.

Always counted frail, my enjoyment of life had been limited in many ways. Dyspepsia, more or less acute, had afflicted me much of the time, and at two different periods I had barely existed for months on a starvation diet, while two years before coming into Science my physician had declared that I would never be able to eat a hearty meal.

Nervous prostration at one time had kept me a year and a half in bed and unable to sleep save by the use of drugs, while at other times I had endured the tortures of insomnia rather than risk forming a drug habit.
